A 13 year-old cannot give consent, therefore the boyfriend is guilty of rape if they had sex.

"A 13 year-old cannot give consent, therefore the boyfriend is guilty of rape if they had sex."

If he's fourteeen? Doesn't there have to be an age differential here for that to apply? Otherwise, parents could be asking for prosecution of every sixteen year old boy who has sex with their fifteen year old daughter!

A 14 year old can't give consent either, so I guess the 13 year old daughter would be guilty of rape, too... if they had sex.
